Oh funky!
This is actually good.
Economy picks up = company results good = expansion/growth = markets up in long run but yes, I think we'll have anticipated knee-jerk first.
Good time to buy long term.

Ouch, this is going to get real ugly.
Nikkei closes 20% below 22 May's high, enters bear market at 6.5% down today.
Nothing more to say. Good luck to all.

Minus 1229 points on T40 yesterday nothing to yawn about. This is the 2nd time in a very short period for negative >1000 points in one day. It you're really fair about it, US has had 20-something consecutive positive Tuesdays of trading until recently but never at these rangers if I remember correctly.
I think it might have to do with BoJ's reluctance to add stimulus yesterday and economies seemingly picking up steam, thus no more fun money or at least the perception thereof. Also Gary Stern, former Fed president, yesterday talking about tapering publicly:
MarketWatch: What is your assessment of the economy and do you think the Fed should start to taper?
Stern: I think the economy has picked up a bit of momentum. If you think about the last 12 months, I think the preponderance of surprises have been on the positive side. They haven’t been huge, but they’ve been positive. And I think they’ve been relatively consistent. And that is all for the good, both for U.S. citizens and good for Fed policy makers, because it makes things a little easier along the way.
As far as the timing of the tapering, I personally think this would not be a bad time to start.
We have SA Retail Sales @ 13:00, US futures are up and it seems so is our market. I would still not add to investments though, think this is not over yet.

Add it wise@ss, the way things are going now (T40 -1130 points), probably all shares evolved into long term keepers now.
I'm moving nicely up on IC (investor challenge not intensive care
) and I haven't even stared yet.1751

Hey jaDEB, i've last touched equities 2008/9 only focusing on T40 & macro view since then. Now its back to square one for purpose of competition (fun not serious), what I'm trying to say very inarticulately is that my opinions will probably be uninformed, uninspired and useless.

You must have an interesting view on life if disappointed when economy picks up and rather prefer additional easing, crazy-lazy investors.
I only see red so far for markets already closed, currently running and futures. (Only green market today is Turkish with ongoing 'unrest an violence' which seems rather civil compared to what we classify as violent.)
Same with most commodities except coffee and soy bean the only green . R/$ R10.26, VIX up to 15.44 (+1.98%) yesterday but we prefer this one red as it works better that way, not a good indication then. GB industrial & manufacturing production 10:30 but for some reason I can't access web site right now, IGM T40 well on its way to negative 700 points.

Australia on public holiday today celebrating queens birthday and China has dragon boat festival. Nikkei up +3.76% on better than expected QoQ GDP, rest of Asia red except for Singapore with +030%. US futures green, VIX better @ 15.14 (-8.96%), gold $1382, R/$ @10.08, FOMC member speaking at 15:50.
IGM +36 atm, it's cold outside, keep cozy.
